During that time Romero allegedly got out a BB gun and held it against the boy’s head in an attempt to have the boy give up his belongings.
Court documents state when the boy refused again Romero shot him in the leg with the BB gun and told him if he were to tell anyone about the incident he would “shoot up his house.”
Romero is facing one charge of aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony.
